Rival Kingdoms: Age of Ruin – Tips, Tricks, Cheats, and Strategy Guide

Rival Kingdoms: Age of Ruin is a new MMO strategy game for the Android and iOS platforms. This new Space Ape game blends beautiful 3D graphics with gameplay out of the Clashalike school of gaming, but with more than enough differentiation to make it its own game. You have many varieties of troops, and your goal is to build your base into a massively powerful stronghold while destroying everybody else’s base. Read on for some tips and tricks for Rival Kingdoms: Age of Ruin!

You have two main things that you can use in battle: your troops and your ancient. Your ancient gives you all of those special attacks and other goodies, such as dragons, that you can summon in battle. There are as many ways to strategize as there are players in the game, so attack lots of players, and mix and match to figure out what your favorite strategies will be.

Defensively, even if you mainly focus on the single player mode of the game, you always want to be prepared for getting attacked by other players. Your walls are going to be useless if they have any holes in them whatsoever, so pick what you want to surround. If you’re farming, surround all of your gold buildings. If you’re going for medals, surround your stronghold and whatever else you can fit walls around. Upgrade them to the highest level possible.

Save up your diamonds so that you can purchase another builder, so that you can do more upgrades at the same time. The second builder costs 2,000 diamonds. If you want to earn free diamonds, complete the achievements in the quest menu and gradually you will build up diamonds. Clear trees, rocks, and other debris for free diamonds, as well.

As the game gets older you will find more and more experienced players whose layouts may have something of value, ditto their attack strategies. Watch the videos of players that attack you, and visit their bases especially if they are a higher level than you, so that you can see what they are doing wrong or right, and emulate where applicable until you develop your own strategy.

Want to change the name on your account? Go to the settings page and you will get one free name change, so be sure to change it to exactly what you want. Any more than that and you will end up having to delete and/or abandon your account and then start completely over.
